Catalyst-wielders usually want to stay a safe distance away from enemies. They require very close range and Baizhu is easily defeated when not well-protected. Bursting every rotation is vital, as Baizhu's Burst can improve his team's damage through aspects of his kit explained in later sections.Īs previously stated, Baizhu's damage output is negligible, and Baizhu's Normal Attacks are especially inefficient. Energy-rich teams including characters like Fischl or the Raiden Shogun will reduce these needs, and Electro characters already work well with Dendro characters, especially Fischl. Without a special weapon like Prototype Amber, Jadefall's Splendor (his signature), or Favonius Codex, you'll probably want somewhere between 180-200% (or more!) Energy Recharge, depending on your team. Naturally, Baizhu has a huge energy requirement. For more information on why this is important, check out the Comprehensive Guide to Elemental Reactions. While his Dendro application is insignificant, several aspects of his kit benefit teams that care about Dendro reactions. Baizhu's attacks have short range and low damage output, so it is not advised to force Baizhu into a DPS role. Baizhu's addition to the Genshin Impact roster thus provides structure to several new team compositions due to his role consolidation and widespread use-cases.Īs a support, Baizhu cares mostly about HP%, Energy Recharge%, and Healing Bonus%. Dendro has, since its release, desperately needed a similar character in its element.

Since Diona's release, she has been a staple in teams supporting powerful Cryo DPS's like Ganyu and Ayaka. There has only been one character who both shields and heals without constellations on 5-star units, and that's Diona. Luckily, as a Catalyst user, Baizhu has many options available to provide further team bonuses.

Rather than focusing on damage output, a well-built Baizhu will be able to maximize his defensive utilities in shielding and healing (a rare and coveted utility combination) and his ability to buff his teammates. He occasionally has reruns, but he is unobtainable through other methods.īaizhu is a defensive support character in every aspect of his kit. Baizhu first debuted on the limited banner in Genshin Impact's 3.6 patch.
